The lancet, arguably one of the most premier medical information sources on the planet has completed a rather large study that shows unequivocally that prior infection has a very high rate of not only reinfection protection (something the “vaccines” seemed to have an inverse reaction, that being making people MORE susceptible to reinfection), but also vastly reduced severe symptoms for all known variants. You know, the only crutch “vaccine” proponents have been frantically trying to assign to the “vaccines” themselves.

“I’m so glad I poisoned myself so that even though I get Covid more frequently than unvaccinated people, the symptoms are a lot less severe”. Sound familiar? The Lancet study makes it clear that prior infection alone trumps the whole reason the “vaccines” were touted in the first place.

Here is a short post from the findings. More in the article:

Findings

We identified a total of 65 studies from 19 different countries. Our meta-analyses showed that protection from past infection and any symptomatic disease was high for ancestral, alpha, beta, and delta variants, but was substantially lower for the omicron BA.1 variant. Pooled effectiveness against re-infection by the omicron BA.1 variant was 45·3% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 17·3–76·1) and 44·0% (26·5–65·0) against omicron BA.1 symptomatic disease. Mean pooled effectiveness was greater than 78% against severe disease (hospitalisation and death) for all variants, including omicron BA.1. Protection from re-infection from ancestral, alpha, and delta variants declined over time but remained at 78·6% (49·8–93·6) at 40 weeks. Protection against re-infection by the omicron BA.1 variant declined more rapidly and was estimated at 36·1% (24·4–51·3) at 40 weeks. On the other hand, protection against severe disease remained high for all variants, with 90·2% (69·7–97·5) for ancestral, alpha, and delta variants, and 88·9% (84·7–90·9) for omicron BA.1 at 40 weeks.

I'm glad they printed it... and haven't retracted it. BMC Infectious Diseases would have retracted it at the request of their Pharma paymasters. These journals only exist to help sell the product. Pharma is the product.


It's time to hold the medical journals accountable
Scientific integrity has been compromised by the medical journals, but they have been getting away with it. This needs to stop now. Here's how you can help hold them accountable with a single email.

This is Adrian Gonzalez-Lopez, Editor of BMC Infectious Diseases:

He decided to retract the Skidmore paper for reasons that do not satisfy the COPE criteria. All of his concerns could have been addressed by amending the paper. Retraction was unwarranted.

For example, one doctor wrote me:

Ok. I read through everything. Impressions are:

Skidmore is a very good author; he did a very good job writing the paper and dealing with all the potential issues/challenges that could come up when he wrote it. His language was very careful and spot on for what he was trying to do.

The reasons they are citing for the retraction are nonsensical and by that logic you could never publish a paper based on survey results.

The journal made the decision to ax the paper and weren't interested in any argument to the contrary.

Grounds for retraction

When papers are retracted post-publication, it is usually because of very serious errors like it was found that they fabricated the data. For example, the Surgisphere paper.

The COPE guidelines for retraction are described in detail in this article:

They have clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of major error (eg, miscalculation or experimental error), or as a result of fabrication (eg, of data) or falsification (eg, image manipulation)

It constitutes plagiarism

The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper attribution to previous sources or disclosure to the editor, permission to republish, or justification (ie, cases of redundant publication)

It contains material or data without authorisation for use

Copyright has been infringed or there is some other serious legal issue (eg, libel, privacy)

It reports unethical research

It has been published solely on the basis of a compromised or manipulated peer review process

The author(s) failed to disclose a major competing interest (a.k.a. conflict of interest) that, in the view of the editor, would have unduly affected interpretations of the work or recommendations by editors and peer reviewers.

Do any of these apply to the Skidmore paper? No. Not a single one.

In fact, Skidmore’s result was similar to data found by other researchers which puts to bed the first concern and the others aren’t even close to valid.

Which leads us to the inevitable conclusion that the paper was retracted unethically.

Was the Editor willing to discuss the retraction decision and answer questions? No.

Will the Editor reveal who objected to the paper and which of these items they cited? No, they keep that a secret!

They are skating on thin ice and their unwillingness to address any of the issues does not inspire any confidence.

Biden, world leaders sign declaration to adopt vaccine passports for international travel
By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square contributor Nov 21, 2022


"Also involved in the G20 and B20 summits was Klaus Schwab, chair of the World Economic Forum, and architect of its “Great Reset.” In his book, "COVID-19: The Great Reset," he suggests the socio-economic losses caused by lockdowns presented an “opportunity” to create the “new world order” he envisions.

Schwab, who attended the G20 and B20 summits, said in his B20 keynote address, “What we have to confront is a deep, systemic and structural re-structuring of our world. And this will take some time. And the world will look differently after we have gone through this transition process.”

Biden, world leaders sign declaration to adopt vaccine passports for international travel

There's no doubt that they will attempt to impose "vaccine passports" next time. Covid-19 was just the warm up act for these totalitarians.

More from the same article you cited:

Mark Steyn with GBNews says it’s obvious from the world leaders’ remarks that they’ve “taken this virus and the world they built in response to it to make it permanent.” After a Pfizer executive admitted the company “hadn’t tested its vaccine to stop transmission of the virus,” Dutch legal philosopher Eva Vlaardingerbroek told Steyn, “everything is out in the open now. Everyone knows it doesn’t work. … It’s become so obvious that they’ve thrown logic out the window.”

She also points out that what is being stated is disingenuous. When world leaders say, “We will facilitate movement,” she says, they really mean, “we will restrict movement if you don’t do what we say.”

“The fundamental question” to be addressed, she said is, “People have forgotten what the state is for, and the state serves the citizens, not the other way around. You have an entire population that apparently seems to forget that they pay up to half of their income in taxes. … You do that so that the state – supposedly – does things in your interest. Instead, the state treats us as criminals … every citizen is proven guilty until proven innocent.”

Of the declaration, Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Digital health or vaccine passports along with tracking and tracing apps present a serious threat to freedom. Vaccine passports and tracking apps are about collecting data and control. The vaccine passport is being promoted worldwide to limit a person’s ability to leave home, work, shop, dine, travel, attend a public event, or even worship. COVID is being used to advance this dangerous threat to freedom. We must never accept vaccine passports or tracking apps as the new normal. The implications for freedom are significant.”

Yesterday... Biden announced "Project NextGen", Operation Warp Speed 2.0

U.S. spending $5 billion to speed up development of new COVID vaccines
Reuters

WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. government is spending over $5 billion on an effort to speed up the development of new COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson and a Biden administration official said on Monday.

The investment, dubbed "Project NextGen" and first announced by White House and HHS officials in an interview with the Washington Post, aims to provide better protection from coronaviruses, including the one that causes COVID-19, that might become future threats.

"While our vaccines are still very effective at preventing serious illness and death, they are less capable of reducing infections and transmission over time," the HHS spokesperson said.

"New variants and loss of immunity over time could continue to challenge our healthcare systems in the coming years."

President Joe Biden's administration will spend a minimum of $5 billion in collaborations with the private sector, an approach similar to that of the "Operation Warp Speed" project under former President Donald Trump that accelerated the development and distribution of vaccines in 2020.

"Project NextGen will accelerate and streamline the rapid development of the next generation of vaccines and treatments through public-private collaborations," said the administration official.

"The infusion of a $5 billion investment, at minimum, will help catalyze scientific advancement in areas that have large public health benefits for the American people, with the goal of developing safe and effective tools for the American people."

The project, set to be based at HHS, will coordinate across the government and with the private sector on advancing a pipeline of new vaccines and treatments, the HHS spokesperson said. It will cover all phases of development from lab research and clinical trials to delivery.

I went to our family dr for my 6 month Medicare physical yesterday. Masks are still required, and my dr wears a shield in addition to a N95 mask.

At least he didn't bother asking if I wanted a covid booster. The last time he said he recommended the boosters because they had alot of patients die of covid. I asked him how many of those who "died of covid" had the vaccine & boosters. He just stared at me for a few seconds, then said, "All of them.......OK, keep doing what you're doing & I'll see you in 6 months." Then he hurried out of the room.

Most Doctors are pretty busy and don't really have time to "Follow the science" When doctors say they "Follow the science" what they really mean is that they say and do what they are told.

At the World Vaccine Congress, FDA's Peter Marks supported Gregory Poland’s position that the vaccine-hesitant are irrational, “It’s crazy that they don’t get how great vaccines are,” he said. “I am past trying to argue with people who think that vaccines are not safe.”

Seriously?!?! If Peter Marks want to reduce vaccine hesitancy, he MUST engage with the so-called "misinformation spreaders." So when has Peter Marks engaged with any of my colleagues to answer the questions we have? NEVER!

Today, I'm offering $100,000 to Peter Marks to take off his mask and have a civil discussion with us about the COVID vaccine safety and efficacy. Will he do it? I predict that it is NEVER going to happen.

So his statement about "arguing with people who think that vaccines are not safe" is disingenuous.

I expect most docs have historically found they could rely on the medical journals to provide honestly curated and honestly conducted double blind controlled studies which kept them informed on advances in medical care. Most docs used to be in private practice and set their own care standards.

When you trust a system which has been good, it can be hard to imagine it has become thoroughly corrupted.

At this point, every institution seems corrupted.

Yup...denial on an EPIC scale. Luckily, my Primary Care Physician is not as clouded in his judgement or as brain-washed and left the decision whether or not to get the clot shot strictly up to me. WHICH I APPRECIATED GREATLY!!! He NEVER gave me the "you'll be on your death bed" speech or threatened me in any way. He simply told me I'd recover from Covid "a little easier" if I had the shot and were to contract Covid.

I have yet to get either...

From the start, they lied about the "pandemic of the unvaccinated"

No surprise here, but more evidence is always nice. This time it comes from the state of Maryland.

Alex Berenson

In summer 2021, Democratic politicians and public health bureaucrats insisted only unvaccinated people were being hospitalized with or dying from Covid.

“This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Centers for Disease Control director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said on July 16, 2021.

“Unvaccinated Americans account for virtually all recent COVID-19 hospitalizations,” Jeff Zients, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, told NPR the same day.

“It’s really an outbreak among the unvaccinated,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci told CNN nine days later.

No wonder that on Sept. 9, President Biden announced, “This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated” as he promised “a new plan to require more Americans to be vaccinated.”

Require? Yep, require.

After all, it was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

—

Only it wasn’t.

Not even then.

As early as June 2021 - less than six months after mRNA jabs began, less than five months after anyone could be considered fully vaccinated - a significant fraction of people hospitalized with Covid had been jabbed.

These days, of course, almost everyone hospitalized for Covid has been jabbed, though the figures are tough to come by. They’re buried deep on state health department Websites or in Excel files that must be downloaded and examined.

But they’re not impossible to find. The media simply refused to report them, because they would have raised questions about how well the shots worked.

From time to time, though, they pop up. A reader directed me to the state of Maryland’s Website. Unusually, Maryland openly reveals the actual number of hospitalizations by vaccination status - rather than a “rate ratio” that depends on several dubious assumptions.

The Maryland data could not be clearer. Nearly everyone who has been hospitalized for the last year has been vaccinated. The jabs have failed.

(Yellow wins, vaccines lose)

—

But that’s not the (most) interesting fact on this graph. Unless you’ve been asleep the last 18 months, you already knew the vaccines do not work about Omicron.

The most interesting fact is when they started to fail:

Yes, in July 2021, as the United States government told Americans that two mRNA shots provided near-total protection from Covid, more than one in five people hospitalized with Covid in Maryland was “fully vaccinated.” (In June the figure was 18 percent.)

Did public health officials like Dr. Fauci know the real numbers?

If not, they should have. After all, the National Institutes of Health - where Dr. Fauci worked for more than 40 years - is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland.

—

Worse, Maryland’s 20 percent “fully vaccinated” hospitalization figure for July 2021 is a significant underestimate, since Maryland systematically misclassified vaccinated people as unvaccinated.

This is not a conspiracy theory. As Maryland itself explains:

Identification of post-vaccination infections requires that vaccination data be reported to the state immunization registry and… be matched to the SARS-CoV-2 test result. Therefore, post-vaccination infections may be undercounted.

This problem was not unique to Maryland, or 2021.

Every state had and has a similar issue. As Massachusetts put it last year: The number of cases in vaccinated people may be undercounted due to.... an inability to match records across systems.

Other countries were more careful, classifying people as unknown when their vaccination status was, well, unknown.

—

But then the United States has always reported Covid data in a way designed to make the mRNA shots look as good as possible. It only classifies people as “vaccinated” two weeks after their second mRNA shot.

This artifice hides the fact that real-world data shows people are MORE likely to contract Covid for weeks after the first shot. No other drug has its effectiveness counted only during the period when it is most likely to work.

Finally, states overestimated the total number of people who received vaccines and in some cases reported more than 100 percent vaccine coverage. This error might sound trivial. In fact, it is crucial, because many states hide the raw numbers for hospitalizations and deaths by vaccine status and instead provide “age-adjusted rate ratios.”

But those ratios depend on accurate estimates of the number of unjabbed people. If 300 vaccinated die of Covid out of 1 million, compared to 50 out of 50,000 unvaccinated, the vaccines will seem quite effective (even though more vaccinated people have died).

But if even 10 percent of the people reported as vaccinated actually are not, then real figures are 300 out of 900,000 vaccinated compared to 50 out of 150,000 unvaccinated. In that case, exactly the same proportion of vaccinated and unvaccinated people have died.

The numbers I’ve used are fictional, but the problem is real. And vaccine advocates, at least the smarter ones, are well aware of all these issues.

But they don’t care, because every one works the same way, to make the vaccines appear more effective.

They just figure you won’t invest the time or energy to understand all the ways they’re lying.

And that’s the most arrogant attitude of all.

I’ll repeat something I e said in this thread more than once- i rely on personally observed empirical evidence. I don’t personally know anyone that has died from Covid that were not “vaccinated, nor by extension with acquaintances. Nobody I personally know that is unvaccinated has had Covid more than once, family included. Conversely, I know of two fully “vaccinated” and boosted that succumbed. to Covid. Neither had comorbidities. I know of multiple people to include co-workers, extended family, conversational acquaintances, etc that got Covid multiple times while “vaccinated”.

There is far too much clear evidence out there that not only do the “ affines” do almost no good for the average person, they are dangerous to healthy people. And yet they are still pushing the poison.

A new study ran in Cell Reports in February titled, “SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein induces TLR4-mediated long-term cognitive dysfunction recapitulating post-COVID-19 syndrome in mice.”
https://www.cell.com/cell-repo...2211-1247(23)00200-0

Researchers injected free spike protein (same as the type from the ‘vaccines’) directly into mice brains. They discovered that being exposed to spike protein destroyed brain synapses and caused neuro-inflammation, memory loss, and cognitive dysfunction between 30 to 45 days after exposure. They also found the spike’s neurotoxicity seemed to be related to the brain’s immune-response, and therefore was potentially a byproduct of the body’s reaction to the spike, and not the spike itself.

Critics of the study relied on the arguments that spike protein stays near the injection site, so it wouldn’t make it to the brain anyway, and people aren’t mice. Both are dumb arguments. Increasing numbers of studies are finding free spike (i.e., from the jabs) in human brain tissue, strongly suggesting that CDC promises about the spike’s inability to cross the blood-brain barrier were false.

Try to get any of these “experts” to bet real money spike doesn’t get into the human brain. Good luck.

Anecdotally, independent neurologists have reported to me that they are starting to diagnose more Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease cases, compared to ultra-rare pre-pandemic levels when a neurologist might see one case in an entire career. Another told me her practice has exploded with new patients and diagnoses. When I asked her whether the new patients shared a vaccination status, she answered, “100%.”

Yet another whistleblower doctor (not a neurologist) who I spoke with this weekend informed me that her major Florida hospital was building out new cancer facilities and a brand-new apheresis unit. “They know,” she told me. “The apheresis unit is for filtering the spike out of people’s blood.”

Had an issue with my dainty little feetsies and went to the Podiatrists office.
Office staff and patients were delightfully mask free.

Yesterday, CNN ran a story headlined, “Jamie Foxx Remains Hospitalized Nearly a Week After Experiencing ‘Medical Complication’.”

When it comes to your health, simpler is almost always better; complicated is bad.

Foxx has been here in Atlanta making a Netflix movie with Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close, to be called “Back in Action.” Which is kind of ironic, since Foxx is now “out of action” and needs to get “back in action,” if you follow me. Anyway, according to insiders, movie production halted last week after something happened to Foxx off the set on Tuesday, and he was admitted to the hospital.

Last Friday, I reported Foxx had suffered what the media was then calling a stroke, that the family had assured everyone the A-list actor was “already improving,” and that his case was being called a perfect example of the benefits of rapid response to a stroke incident, exactly how you want to handle things. Media assured us the actor was “already communicating” and looked forward to being released soon.

It’s unclear who they spoke to, but a Marca Magazine reporter identified Foxx’s injury as a “brain bleed.” It said brain bleeds are related to cardiac/blood problems and aneurysms:

FandomWire, in an article describing various problems on the Back in Action movie set, said Foxx’s medical emergency “was so serious, that his parents had to fly to visit him.”

Now it sounds like the early reports were too optimistic. After a week of tests, they aren’t calling it a stroke anymore. In a recent short statement, his daughter just called it a “health-related incident.”

You know what that means. Doctors are baffled. The one thing they should be considering is the one thing they will never, ever consider.

Foxx’s case is getting a lot of attention, much more than Justin Bieber, for some reason, but not as much as Damar Hamlin. According latest media reports, the Oscar-winning actor, 55, has NOT been released but seems stuck in the hospital here in Atlanta. According to the reports, his relatives are now saying they aren’t sure WHY he hasn’t been released and say his doctors are confounded by what’s going on with the actor.

A source told CNN Foxx’s doctors continue running tests and are “still trying to figure out what happened.”

What can we make of all this? What we know is, Foxx had something like a stroke last Tuesday, it was serious enough to summon his parents from out of town, he was temporarily unable to communicate, he may or may not have fully recovered his communications skills, he went to the hospital under his own steam, a week of in-hospital tests hasn’t sorted out what’s wrong with him (because they aren’t looking for it), but they have somehow ruled out a stroke, perhaps because the actor is not responding to stroke treatments.

It won’t be easy to get any straight information about Jamie’s condition, because his handlers and relatives MUST be relentlessly optimistic, for excellent, big-money-related reasons involving not upsetting the movie investors. There is also tremendous pressure to get him back up and running, so as not to derail lots and lots of movie coordination. If Foxx stays in the hospital, it’s because there is no way he can work.

We pray Jamie fully recovers very soon and gets Back in Action. And we hope it’s a “real” full recovery, not the kind of recovery where he “takes a break” to spend more time with his family, or indefinitely pauses his football career, or retires from acting because he took a gene test showing enhanced risk of Alzheimer’s or something.

Senate GOP report: COVID leaked from Wuhan lab where US funded gain-of-function research

Even as U.S. continues to provide funding to China for viral research, there are still no U.S. scientists in Chinese labs overseeing such U.S.-backed research, according to Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.).

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall is warning that a new virus could break out of China and cause another worldwide pandemic as he releases "Muddy Waters," a comprehensive new report on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and staff reviewed more than 50,000 documents for the report, which found that the COVID-19 virus was created in a lab and the outbreak was likely the result of two unintentional lab leaks.

"This report concludes most likely this was two leaks," Marshall said during a briefing with reporters ahead of the release of the report. "The possibility of a lab leak in the September-October [2019] time frame, even as early as July or August, was followed by vaccine development in November 2019. And then another lab leak seems to be the most sensible explanation in this retrospective review."

The report determined that the U.S. government was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"I think we're in no better shape today than we were a year ago, three years ago, as far as I'm concerned," Marshall said in response to a question from Just the News.

"There's nothing proving to me that they're doing this type of research in BSL-4 labs," he continued. "Their own documents continue to show that they're understaffed, that they don't have the right facilities to do it in, a huge concern. That's why we've been calling for a halt in all viral gain-of-function research until we get the guardrails around it."

The NIH has "manipulated gain-of-function to be what they say it is and what it isn't, and then they get all lawyered up," alleged Marshall, an obstetrician.

Marshall said viral research should never be done outside of a BSL-4 lab. According to the National Institutes of Health, BSL-4 labs have "the most stringent safety and security requirements."

Marshall said the U.S. government continues to provide funding to China for viral research but to date there are no U.S. scientists in Chinese labs overseeing such U.S.-backed research.

"If we're funding it, then they need to conform to our rules, and we need American boots on the ground," he said, referring to China.

When asked if he plans to introduce legislation that requires the Chinese government to allow U.S. scientists to be present in the labs that receive U.S. government funding, Marshall said this is something that's currently in the works.

Marshall's report concluded that the Chinese government tried to cover up the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 virus before the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic in March 2020.

Marshall told reporters that U.S. government agencies, including the NIH, as well as the Chinese government, are still withholding from Congress key information about the origins of the virus. There is information Marshall said he could not access, which he is confident would prove two lab leaks occurred in China in the lead-up to the outbreak.

"There are key data points that are being held back that could help us prove that, but we can't get that data," he said.

Marshall said that his office will continue its investigation into the origins of COVID, but he reiterated his call for the formation of an independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the origins of the virus.
